The Noise Beneath the Apple by Heather Jacks

The Noise Beneath the Apple® is a hardcover, Limited
Edition Art-Style/Coffee Table book, presented in an elegant slipcase. It
measures 12″ x 12″ and celebrates buskers and street music in New York City. It
includes a history, evolution and culture of busking, photos, interviews and
commentary with 35 of NYC’s prominent street musicians. A cherry red vinyl
record, of 11 tracks of original music, mastered by Grammy and Academy Award
winning Reuben Cohen, (Slumdog Millionaire, Frozen), is page 200. At the
culmination of the project, 30 participants went to Grand Street Recording in
Brooklyn, where they covered Billy Joel's hit song, New York State of Mind. A
12 minute short film and music video were created from that day and are
included with the book, making this project, truly multi-media. The project won
a Book of the Year Award in the category of Performing Arts & Music.
